1
00:00:00,534 --> 00:00:00,934
So for voters

2
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:01,535
who don't know

3
00:00:01,602 --> 00:00:02,769
who you are that well

4
00:00:02,836 --> 00:00:03,570
tell us who you are

5
00:00:03,637 --> 00:00:04,238
and why you're running

6
00:00:04,304 --> 00:00:04,838
for governor.

7
00:00:04,905 --> 00:00:05,739
I'm actually a nurse

8
00:00:05,806 --> 00:00:06,573
by background

9
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:07,841
and I've worked in

10
00:00:07,908 --> 00:00:08,876
so many different roles

11
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:09,743
within health care

12
00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:10,777
whether it's

13
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:11,912
night shifts in the ER

14
00:00:11,979 --> 00:00:12,546
all the way

15
00:00:12,613 --> 00:00:13,814
to being an executive

16
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:15,983
within our health care system.

17
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:17,718
One of my roles

18
00:00:18,185 --> 00:00:19,653
as lieutenant governor is that

19
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,854
I get to go to all

20
00:00:20,921 --> 00:00:22,055
72 counties

21
00:00:22,122 --> 00:00:22,689
and I have done

22
00:00:22,756 --> 00:00:23,924
that every single year

23
00:00:23,991 --> 00:00:24,591
that I have been

24
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:25,826
lieutenant governor.

25
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:26,927
And when I talk

26
00:00:26,994 --> 00:00:27,928
to people there

27
00:00:27,995 --> 00:00:28,729
they are telling me

28
00:00:28,795 --> 00:00:29,496
the same thing

29
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:30,497
that they are doing

30
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:31,265
everything right

31
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:32,833
but they're feeling squeezed.

32
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:33,767
And whether that's

33
00:00:33,834 --> 00:00:34,735
accessible, affordable

34
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:35,869
health care

35
00:00:35,936 --> 00:00:37,070
cost of housing

36
00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:38,805
cost of child care

37
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:40,974
we keep raising our taxes

38
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:41,608
to pay

39
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:43,410
for our public schools.

40
00:00:43,477 --> 00:00:44,077
I mean, these are

41
00:00:44,144 --> 00:00:44,745
the things that people

42
00:00:44,811 --> 00:00:45,879
are talking to me about

43
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:46,480
and these are the things

44
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:47,214
that I would like

45
00:00:47,281 --> 00:00:47,781
to be able to

46
00:00:47,848 --> 00:00:49,082
address as governor.

47
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:50,584
Is there a single issue

48
00:00:50,651 --> 00:00:51,385
that drives you

49
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:52,019
as a candidate

50
00:00:52,085 --> 00:00:52,953
or perhaps a lane

51
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:54,121
within the Democratic Party

52
00:00:54,188 --> 00:00:55,489
that may define you?

53
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:56,423
I think that

54
00:00:56,490 --> 00:00:58,292
I have so much experience

55
00:00:58,358 --> 00:00:59,026
within health care

56
00:00:59,092 --> 00:01:00,294
which is a complicated space

57
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,928
and we've seen

58
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:01,528
what's happening

59
00:01:01,595 --> 00:01:02,496
now in Washington

60
00:01:02,563 --> 00:01:03,330
where they're taking away

61
00:01:03,397 --> 00:01:04,064
the subsidies

62
00:01:04,131 --> 00:01:05,566
for the Affordable Care Act.

63
00:01:05,632 --> 00:01:06,066
So people

64
00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:06,667
who are going

65
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:07,668
to get their insurance

66
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:08,502
on the exchange

67
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:09,102
these are

68
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:10,037
small business owners.

69
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:11,004
These are farmers.

70
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:11,572
These are people

71
00:01:11,638 --> 00:01:12,139
who are trying

72
00:01:12,206 --> 00:01:13,340
to make a living

73
00:01:13,407 --> 00:01:14,441
and their premiums

74
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:15,309
are going to double

75
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:15,909
maybe even

76
00:01:15,976 --> 00:01:17,644
triple in Wisconsin.

77
00:01:17,711 --> 00:01:18,612
And so having somebody

78
00:01:18,679 --> 00:01:19,279
who has that

79
00:01:19,346 --> 00:01:20,347
expertise in health care

80
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:21,381
to be able to do that

81
00:01:21,448 --> 00:01:22,349
here in Wisconsin

82
00:01:22,416 --> 00:01:23,517
and actually make

83
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:24,551
a demonstrable difference

84
00:01:24,618 --> 00:01:25,118
in people's lives

85
00:01:25,185 --> 00:01:25,786
is something that

86
00:01:25,853 --> 00:01:28,322
I'm really excited about.
